Three Writing Reads and…Write On Con!

Write On Con has been fabulous. This is my second year participating and am loving it even more. It really is like attending a live conference. And there are bonuses in the notes--they are all there, blog posts waiting for you to delve into them and learn ways to improve your craft. You can even print them off and mark them up, something I often do with the notes I make being directly related to the book I am working on. You can go to the forums and have your material critiqued, provide critiques for others, read threads that have critiques in them (you can always learn from reading the critiques on other books). You walk away with a list of books to add to your to buy list, chats with agents and editors you don’t have to miss because you are in another session. So many many good things about it I could probably fill a blog post or two. This is for sure one of my annual must attends. Next year I hope to have the time booked off worked, possibly even head to a hotel, maybe with a couple of other writing buddies. Like I said, so many possibles with something like this.

Some posts I particularly loved, cause they hit close to home and gave me courage to keep at it, keep revising and be grateful I am working in the wonderful world of writing for children and teens:

WriteOnCon.com – Revising Your Way To Success

This was a live chat with agents and boy some great information here, great book recommendations, too! You click on replay and away you go as if you were there the first time around. Like I said, you miss nothing at this conference!

WriteOnCon.com – 12:00 PM: Live chat with literary agents Marietta Zacker, Joan Paquette, and Michael Bourret

And finally--a must watch. Hmm, so I guess I should have called this post, two writing reads and a vid?

WriteOnCon.com – Don’t Give Up by Author Beth Revis


Happy revising, writing, reading-whatever it is you are doing to improve your craft and grow!
